Iran Dumps U.S. Dollar For Oil Trades

Who cares?
Why would you even be reading or posting on a politically inclined, pro American message board if you feel "who cares", especially towards a country we might get into a nuclear war with!

I don't mean to come across rough, but we must understand why our leaders lead us into conflicts in the first place.

how are we going to get into a nuclear war with a country that hasn't demonstrated a credible nuclear device....

It's more of a situation where the US would possibly use nuclear weapons pre-emptively, and the repercussions that could follow from some of Iran's more "equipped" trade partners.

While should Iran get involved in a nuclear confrontation with the USA that they can't win, when they can so easily play an economic card against us that they can't lose?

Good point.

Plus the U.S. has no need to rattle sabres, since the Israelis will destroy Iran's military with nukes when the time comes.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain how Iran would ever get away with economic warfare, let alone not "lose".
